Bugatti recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Bugatti is recalling certain 2016-2023 Bugatti Chiron vehicles. The audible chime may not activate when the vehicle starts, and the driver has not buckled their seat belt.

What could happen
The driver may be unaware that their seat belt is not fastened, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
